JUSTIFICATION:

·         Students are consistently fighting the perception that they are graphic design students.    Removing the word graphics will help reduce the confusion that sometimes surrounds what our students are prepared to do upon graduation.  No other program in the Engineering Technology department uses the word “Design” as a part of their program nomenclature.  This proposed change will improve distinction across the department in terms of program names.

·         Updating curriculum to reflect industry transitioning to 3D design and Building Information Modeling. (Architectural, construction, and engineering)

·         Eliminate a 5 credit hour course that is better suited by having the information split into two courses taken in separate semesters due to the large amount of information required to be disseminated.

·         Five day a week classes are hard for our students to schedule because of work schedules and classroom/ lab usage.

·         To align catalog offerings with what is being offered at high schools as concurrent enrollment and technical colleges under current articulation agreement guidelines. (Currently concurrent enrollment credit is not being offered for the same course numbers we offer due to the inability of high schools to cover the material sufficiently.  Students are required to take a combination of courses not part of the required course listings to get credit in the program. This proposal includes eliminating courses only on the books to satisfy concurrent enrollment courses. Students and concurrent enrollment students are upset that their credits do not transfer 100% and if they only take one half of the combination they are re-taking content they already learned at the high school level.)

·         More consistent flow of information and complexity from course to course of curriculum affecting architectural design among first three courses instead of first two courses and offer them as concurrent enrollment to high schools and technology colleges under articulation agreements.

·         Redistributing course content into 3 courses instead of existing 2 courses to allow introductory content to be covered in greater detail in separate courses that build upon each other.

·         Update course descriptions and content to align with current architectural design and construction industry practices.

·         Replace co-op work experience with additional architectural based course. Students are increasingly having a hard time getting internships or employment within their discipline. This is making the co-op work experience that is required as part of the coursework for the degree challenging for the faculty to find replacement options for students to fulfill the requirement.

·         Add additional architectural based course offering to program to bring number of offerings to eight courses in Bachelor’s degree. (Previous number of courses dealing with architectural engineering was seven)

·         Sustainability and Green Building is an emerging topic of great importance to our graduates that is not adequately covered in existing courses.
